We’ve been having lots of fun with family over the last few days. Mostly we’ve just been hanging out at home and letting the cousins play. They get so excited to see each other. I hope it lasts for many more years and beyond.
We did get out to zoo lights. We went on New Years Day. It was absolutely freezing, but at least it was dry. The wind was screaming through the zoo parking lot and Simon was crying real tears from the cold. Eventually we got both boys into their snowsuits, jackets, hats, and mittens so they were good for a little while. It was just too cold for them to be happy for long, though, and we ended up staying only for a short time. Luckily I was able to keep Caleb warm enough. He was dressed in a sleeper, in a snow suit, in the wrap, inside my coat with a hat and a blanket. I don’t think he even knew we were out there in all that cold! He slept through the entire first zoo lights experience!
While we were there Simon had one of his many tantrums. Grandpa took the stroller and Simon calmed down a lot. Here they are enjoying the light tunnel together.
At home, Audrey, Elias, and Sonya had a lot of fun trying out Elias’ new Snap Circuits. Nathan was in heaven playing with them.
We always miss the Ramlals after they leave.
